Going for an English | Goodness Gracious Me

As an Englishman I’ve always loved this scene, it has to be one of the most perfect parodies of stupid drunken behaviour! 😂

[@robbie_]

Haha, I remember this sketch. They completely turned it around, the way English people behave in Indian restuarants here in the UK.

This sketch was a work of genius at the time,absolutely brilliant

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

Goodness Gracious Me was a gem of a show. This sketch was so on point for drunken English guys going to an Indian Restaurant.

As a white man in his 60`s, I once sat with a younger british born indian friend/family watching this sketch in there home, we were all crying with laughter at the reverse parody of 20 somethings going out for a indian meal on a friday night = so relatable & true

"what's the blandest thing on the menu?" Gets me every time 😂

[@matthewwalker5430]

Did you know that, yes, Indians have introduced us Brits to many lovely food but we Brits also influenced Indian food? We brought at least 2 of the most popular vegetables in Indian food with us - the Cauliflower (Gobi) back in the 19th Century and we also introduced the Potato to most of India (I believe the Portuguese first brought the potato in the 18th century but it pretty much remained only in their colony in Goa, whereas the Brits spread potatoes all over the country and incorporated them into Indian cuisine). We can thank each other for many things - India & Britain are a pretty good team, Hi-5!

one of the best shows to ever come out of the uk! brilliantly mocking culture clashes and stereotypes without really taking or giving offense

[@Denathorn]

Classic sketch, as a white pasty Englishman myself, I found it magic and hilarious when it showed, it was really well done... I miss Goodness Gracious Me, it was a great series! :)

[@PeterJPickles]

Nearly all the stars of this comedy went on to great things, a true British comedy show.

Non Indian Welshwoman here - bloody loved this series. This sketch especially had me in fits. I've been into too many places where some of the group have been determined to eat the hottest curry available, and making fools of themselves. Also seen some outrageously ignorant behaviour towards pleasant people serving lovely food. This takes the piss out of every ignoramus perfectly.

[@Ghostdancer4444]

"Oi, Clive of India", classic line 😂😂😂

[@coot1925]

The funny thing is that most of the actors don't even have an Indian accent, they speak in a proper English accent. There's nothing we love more than people taking the piss out of us. Hysterical show.

[@PedroConejo1939]

It was the perfect photographic negative of drunken Brits going for an Indian on a Friday night. So much said simply by portraying the exact opposite of every waiter's experience. Still quoted regularly in this house. The show gave us some really talented performers who perhaps wouldn't have made it without showcasing their work in this way.

[@bluecheese1066]

I'd forgotten how funny this show was. Thank you reminding me! Love and peace from the UK.

[@ukman9797]

Goodness Gracious was fabulously written and performed. Please do more of this program, specifically the Indians trying to be British.

[@easterdeer]

Amazing video, thanks guys! "Give me the blandest thing on the menu" is a really well-known line from this show in the UK 😆 Happy new year friends!!

[@jeanneale9257]

Great reaction guys

[@autisticlife]

I have always loved this sketch, I think this is the signature Goodness Gracious Me sketch. It is well observed and a complete inversion of behaviour frequently shown in Indian resturants in England.

[@GodlessScummer]

Speaking as a Brit I can definitely say that back in the day I've seen that kind of behaviour in Indian restaurants from British people in the past.
